I run a simmilar deck no black tho your win con is swing with an unblockable infect asap but livewire lash calls for a bit more control if your relying on it otherwise I don't think its even needed honestly, I use it as a win condition seeing you won't see it tll turn 4ish and these decks can win turn 3 if built rite soo again the lash isn't important I use it solely cus I'm only playing casual with that particular deck if I play tournaments I use mono black for the evasive creatures in the current format flying is just as good as unblockable as long as you deal with lingering souls, plus yo get the best pump via lashwrithe only playable in mono black and the best disupter in the format via whispering specter, its funny to see your opponents face when you say on turn 4 discard your hand lol

Depends on what format your playing in, I personaly am making a venser deck its going to be bant themed with card that trigger when they hit the battlefield ill have primival titan, terastodon, wall of omens sylvan ranger, I'm playing with a few ideas at the moment nothin final

With the current meta being primarily aggro w/b spirits and g/w humans the deck lost some of its power, so I tweaked mine a bit it still runs on the same purpose attach lashwrithe and swing but now I tossed in some apostles blessing to get by the tokens, curse of deaths hold glistening oil for some recuring removal, I take out mutigenic growth and add more removal and if you want more pump add trigon of rage, I went with hand of the praetors tho I felt it gave higher card advantage with the pump and the added body, take out tragic slip its to situational you need to kill a creature first which you don't have a lot of ways of doing so it'll sit in your hand, run virulent wound and dismember also I found the deck won't run very well with only 23 lands if you miss a land drop your pretty much toast 24 I found I allways want one more 25 I want one less so ita a toss up but I'd deff run 1 or 2 more swamp, sb wise I'd run some witchbane orbs to deal with rdw and you'll want sword of fnf if you got the cash for em cus every one and their mother is gunna bust out dismember against your crusaders

Try vampires bite then your paying a lot of life to build tempa this will give you some back consuming vapors would be anouther good card

Take out unholy strenth and add 2 more lashwrithe and skithiryx is a must if you can get him and maybe some tezzys gambits

Hand of the praetors is amasing and I would add him if I hand room and the creatures to make his ability worth while, and yah for sure ill have a look

Here's some deck building adice,

There's a few things you want to concider when building your deck.
1-Theme, think about what you want your deck to do as a start and find a card or combo yóu want to build around, you want your deck to have synergy which means cards help each other and flow to gether, there's lots of great cards but you want your deck to be consistent.

Example (Rampaging Baloth) Green Black
So if I wanna build around him I wanna fisrt look at his strenths and weakness's fist he's mana costly and has an amasing ability with landfall, so add cards to benifit that like harrow, cultivate, khalni heart expedition, terramorphic expanse, and remember just because a cards good in one deck won't make it good in anouther. Then add cards around it to deal with problems you'll encounter such as creature threats removal and pesky enchantments, like doom blade, naturalize and canopy cover, some things you may not need against every deck which is where your sideboard comes in to play. Then fill in the blanks with other cards that benifit from the cards you have like ob-nixilis the fallen and scute mob.

2-mana curve and deck size
You only want 60 cards in most decks to keep it consistent and 15 cards in sideboard your mana curve is the percentage of cards of a certain mana cost your curve is where it should be now.
Think about how your deck plays out as well if you have to many cards of a certain cost you may not play them in the sense you'll want to play better cards if it sits in your hand get rid of it or sideboard it.

3-card advantage
This means you want to play as many cards as possible that do more then one thing for you such as rampant growth or sylvok ranger both cost 2mana but the growth trades one card for one, while the ranger not only gives you the land but also a helpful blocker.

Hope this helps feel free to get in touch with me anytime if you need advice good luck with your deck building and remember, keep it simple.

Pretty sure hed scoop when I hit him 4th turn with a 5/5 whispering specter and force him to discard his hand lol

Nah hitting you first turn with a 21/21 raging goblin before you get your first land drop is sheer awesomeness

Sooo I play naturalize, now what you throw your deck at me lol

And ps don't add reflections wound reflection only works with loss of life so it won't work with poison

Actually scratch nexus and the stingers any 1/1 creatures won't work, phryexian vatmother and phryexian obliterators would be good tho

Blackgreen I would recomend its a little slow and if you want pump lashwrithe is amasing buts only good for mono black, I no what you mean tho you want something you thought of not someone else. Try carnifax demon glistening oil combo with that enchantment that makes all your cheatures 2 less to play run skithiryx , toss in some red for slagstorm and assault strobe undying evil tainted strike and hellrider. Distress and surgical extraction some plague stingers, inkmoth nexus, virulent wound, volt charge, grim affliction. I've never seen anyone do it.

Bluegreen isn't a bad choice, they'll pull of between turn 3 and 5 wins consistantly in the rite meta issues are heavy removal/counter and burn decks, so black blue zombies and redgreen wolf run and titan ramp will be hard to beat

Try and slim it down to 60 cards and your mana curve is way to high, infect decks that are good rite now are blue/green aggro pump with livewire lash, blue/white shape anew blightsteel, blue/black artifact infect with tezzy agent of bolas+spellkite (expensive) and mono black using lashwrithe and whispering specter+skithiryx, I'm running mono black and I have a blue/green but its more casual mono black is the way to go it went 4-2 at the worlds

That's what I'm saying with the lashes ppl don't wanna target you if it means taking to poison and you can use it when you pump as soon as you play mutigenic growth you can deal them 2 poison, then swing for 6 you should be able to win 3 or 4th turn

Lol the guys I play with use placesets of rav lands in pretty much every deck we don't play with restrictions my one buddys got a blazing shoals deck that usually beats this on a reg basis, gotta hate first turn raging goblin killing you befor your first land drop.

But yes for most metas this deck is useless if I was going to make it legal I'd play a R/B/G eldrazi polymorpgh version of this using awakening zone, dragon fodder, I'd run 2 eldrazi and 4 polymorph, or for standard B/W shape anew blightsteel.

I have the same hybrid U/R deck I use crackleburr as well aha pay 3 tap 2 creatures deals 3 damage pay 3 untap unsummon and swing I oringinaly built it from a draft pick when the set first came out
